2007

The early flashes of Kim Kardashian's behind were quite modest, as seen here in 2007

Despite a sex tape she had made years previously being released four months earlier, Kim, 26, was still so little known at the time that the caption simply referred to her as “the daughter of OJ Simpson’s lawyer”.

Then, on October 14, Keeping Up With The Kardashians hit TV screens for the first time.

2016

In 2016, Kim claimed she wanted to get rid of her bum... luckily for us, she hasn't

TUSH-TUSH! Kim put the very foundation of her fame at risk when she went on the no-carb Atkins diet.

The new mum, below in August, told a shocked world: “I want to lose my bum.

"It’s weird how your body changes with different babies. I want to get to Kim 2010-11.”

But it all turned out OK in the end – while she might have given up most carbs, she never ditched her buns.

RELIGIOUS ALLURE

RUMPOLOGIST Sam Amos – who “reads” rears in the same way palm-readers get clues from hands – says: “Kim’s bottom has helped her become an iconic figure.

"And her backside is now a celebrity in its own right thanks to our fascination with the female form.
“For centuries people have worshipped the rump in the same way we have revered religious figures.
“This is because a curvy backside represents childbearing femininity and unleashes powerful forces in the human mind.”
